OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer Gan's research focuses on improving health literacy and the clarity of medical information, particularly informed consent documents. She has investigated methods to enhance the readability of written informed consent forms, developing tools such as the "informed consent form navigator" to create plain-language documents that are both compliant and understandable.

Her work also extends to evaluating the effectiveness of health literacy interventions. Gan has studied interventions aimed at improving health outcomes in specific populations, such as a randomized pragmatic trial focused on diabetes management in rural family medicine clinics. Her research methodologies include surveys and questionnaires to assess caregiver burden and the utility of patient-facing tools. Gan has published 58 works with an h-index of 8 and has collaborated with researchers Aaron S. Kemp, Jonathan P. Bona, Alison Caballero, and Mathias Brochhausen at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
